German Chocolate Upside Down Cake and Vegan Apple Pie

The baking has going fairly well, despite my disappointment with the first recipe of the day, German Chocolate Upside Down Cake from allrecipes. This is why I hate being the first one to try random recipes which haven’t been reviewed.

In all fairness to the cake, it looks okay when cut. But sheesh, this must be the ugliest cake I’ve ever made. It’s also a bit too sweet. The crumb is good but the topping borders on cloying and I will not be making it again. I’d throw it away, but I’ve learned that people sometimes like the things I do not so I’ll get some opinions this evening.

The second dessert is a vegan apple pie. It’s actually called “apple crumb pie” and the recipe is from Allrecipes. I called it vegan apple pie, because I used Mrs. Smith’s pie crust which contains no butter and used Earth Balance spread in the topping. This pie is going to be excellent. Then again, anything will look good next to that atrocity of a cake.

Wow, the apple pie looks so good…I want a piece right now! The pumpkin cookies have promise…maybe add some oatmeal to it to give some texture but keep the taste of the pumpkin? I agree though that the white chips would probably the the best part!

Anna! You are unbelieveable…you did ALL that baking today and prepared for a Halloween party tonight!! I think we might ought to call you the Eveready Battery Bunny, you seem to just have endless energy and just keep going and going. Thanks for sharing!
